Seekers of the strange will have their appetites satiated by sights both on and off-screen at the WHAT THE FILM BAZAAR presented by ARROW VIDEO only steps away at THE MONARCH TAVERN (12 Clinton St.). The bazaar will compliment WTFilm Fest's showcase of contemporary eccentric cinema with a market of cult cinema vendors, local cult artists and indie community collectives.

ARROW VIDEO, the market’s presenting sponsor and world-leader in the restoration and distribution of cult and horror cinema, will be selling a curated selection of exclusive Blu-Rays and DVDs from their immense inventory. In tandem, Toronto’s favourite indie comics institution, THE BEGUILING BOOKS + ART, will be curating a series of artist signings, as well as selling a selection of their strangest wares. Appearing artists include: Benjamin Marra (Night Business), Jenn Woodall (Magical Beatdown), Jason Loo and Matt Daley.

Toronto’s Broken Pencil magazine, indie video-game arts collective The Hand-Eye Society and Bay-Street Video will also have a presence at the market, which will run from Noon to 5PM at The Monarch Tavern on both the Saturday and Sunday of the festival, preceding the evening screenings. The market floor will also be host to short film screenings and a live-podcast recording by THE IMPORTANT CINEMA CLUB.
